The BetrOthaI of Marie Louise,

On the 22d OF November, 1909, the
Due de Galore, then minister for
foreign affairs at Paris, wrote to the
Due de Whence, French ambassador at
st. Petersburg, to ask whether Napo-
Icons proposal for the hand OF the
Emperor Alexanders sister, the
Grand Duchess Anne, would be favor
ably received. An immediate answer
was required. At that date mes
sengers took p fortnight to reach st.
Petersburg from Paris; the answer to
the dispatch OF the 22d had not, conse-
quently, arrived when, on the 30th OF
November Napoleon's divorce was
finally settled. On the 10th ofDecem-
Der Joshepine held her last reception
at the Tuileries, which she was about
to quit forever. While waiting for their
carriages a remarkable conversation
took place between NJ. de Semonville,
who was then high in favor at court,
and M. de FIoIet, one OF the secreta-
ries of the Austrian embassy, in which
it transpired that the hand OF the
Archduchess Marie Louise would not
be refused should Napoleon ask for
it. This news was at once communi-
Gated to the emperor, and as the an
swer from st. Petersburg was delayed,
negotiations were broken of, and on
the 7th OF February, 1910, Prince
Schwarzenberg signed the contract OF
marriage with the Archduchess Marie
Louise at the Tuileries, and a messen-
ger was at once dispatched to Vienna.
Marie Louise consented with resigna-
ton rather than pleasure, and when
Count Metternich, then minister for
forign affairs, came to ask her con-
sent, her first question was: what
does my father desire9" 1.-THE emper-
or" answered Metternich, "has order
ed me to ask your imperial highness'
opinion with regard to an event upon
which the future OF his very existence
depends; but do not inquire what the
emperor wishes; tell me frankly what
you wish yourself" 81 only wish
what my duty commands" answered
Marie Louise. "When it is a question
regarding the welfare OF the empire,
you must consult that and not my
will. Beg my father to obey his duty
as a sovereign, without consideration
for my personal feelings" When this
answer was brought to the emperor
he showed no surprise, but said: my
consent to this marriage will at least
secure few yearsof peace and pros
perity to my unhappy country,

His Composition.

Most OF us can remember our early
efforts at composition-writing as hav-
ing been expended on "Hope", "The
Seasons" and like topics. Owing to
the nature OF the subjects, wehad moth
ing very original TO say. Here, how
ever, is what is said to be the first liter
airy work OF a boy who had at least a
unique mode OF statement, even If he
necessarily dealt with commonplace
facts. The composition is written up
on THE cat"
A cat Is \ curious animal. 1t has

head is at one end Of its body, and its
tale is at the other. When 1t walks,

The Grants.


Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.
Harrison, General Grants old body
servant, tells me that Colonel Fred
Grant is in business in New York, and
that the family areliving there. Jesse
Grant is in San Francisco, and Ulysses
is attending to the interests OF his
wiie's estate in Mexico. | asked him
how Grant felt when he gave his relics
over to the Government. He replied
that the General was very we'll pleas
ed that the Government could get
them. General Grant said that he
felt that they ought to be kept to-
gether, and if they were divided
among his family they would be
scattered. "There was danger at the
time" said Harrison, chat the cred
TORS OF Grant & Ward might take
them, and | remember well when |
had finished packing them, and told
HIM that they were ready for shipping,
how much relieved helooked, and how
he said, Il am very glad OF it.
"But the taking away OF those
relics" said Harrison, "mado little
difference in the looks OF Grants
house. The rooms were only bare for
day or two. After that they were
filled with things fully as curious, and
some almost as valuable. / don't
suppose any man ever received so
many presents as General Grant. He
did not know what he had. There
were boxes upon boxes OF rare and
curious things stored away which had
been shipped from Europe during his
tour, and some OF which had never
been unpacked. A great many things
had been put away because he had
not room for them, and these had
been forgotten. They were brought
out after the relics were sent to Wash
ington, and thought the house look
ed better than ever"
"When did Grant first realize the
, fact OF his approaching death?"
1T was at DR.. Douglas Office in
New York. He was alone with DR..
Douglas and myself. Grant had just
had an examination OF his throat,
and he asked DR.. Douglas if he could
assure him that his trouble would not
develop into q cancer. Douglas told
him that he could not assure him OF
this fact, but that he hoped he might
be able to cure him. General Grant
then said: III you think thus, DR..
Douglas, there is hope for me. Soon
after this Grants carriage came and
went away. As we drove of he told
me not to say anything to the family
as TO what, DR.. Douglas had said
Throughout his whole sickness Gen.
eral Grants family never knewhow
much pain he suffered. From the
time OF his sickness till his death |
was not two hours absent from
him. Many nights he would walk the
floor all night. When the family
would ask him in the morning how he
had rested he would say, Pretty well,
and would try to appear cheerful. He
had the most terrible pain all the
time, and | don't think he had mo-
ment' cessationfrom pain duringt
last months. He felt greatly relieved
when he had finished his book, and
his happiest days were those just be-
fore his death. During his whole sick
ness he never grew irritable or lost
his temper. He was the kindest man
ever knew, and he had q great love
for his family. Mrs. Grant called him
Ulysses and she was very fond OF him.
He always called her Mrs. Grant, and
he was certainly one OF the best OF
husbands"

The Disaster at Chstsworih.

The shocking railroad accident near
Chatsworth, Illinois, on Wednesday
night, in which nearly 156 lives were
lost and three times that number were
injured more or less seriously, will
doubtless set people to wondering
whethre in our efforts to annihilate
time and space we are not paying too
dear for our whistle. Under existing
conditions Of travel, when speed and
cheapness are the chief elements of the
problem, too little regard for safety is
entertained, alike by traveller and
transporter. Save that the fact of the
burning bridge might have been made
known before the heavily laden train
approached it, and the calamity there
by averted, the accident seems to have
been unavoidable. Even though it
occurred at midnight, the engineer did
not discover the fire until so close to
the bridge that it was impossible to
stop. Once on the bridge, no human
agency could avert the frightful cat
astrophe. What wonder is it that
when the cars, all crowded with pas.
sengers, were telescoped or piled high
in wreck in the fatal ravine, the loss
of life is terrible to contemplate? Had
it been otherwise it would have beer
regarded as a miracle. The great
wonder is that of the nearly one thous
and passengers, the list of dead, though
shockipgly large, was not even greater
and the disaster more appalling, if pos
sible.
But moralizing on the catastroph,
will not bring back life to the man
gled bodies or soundness to the shat
tered limbs. 1t is natural that W,
should express sympathy with the SUI
ferers and grief stricken ones, and in
dulge in the hope that there will sool
be an end to these shocking disaster:
The only way to avoid repetitions o
these heartreuding scenes, recently O
startling frequency, is to take sue
precautions as prudence dictates 70
their prevention. For instance, if
watchman had been employed on th
section of the road in which the bridg
was located, the chances are the disas
ter would have been averted. Or
the train had been smaller and there
fore lighter, the bridge might not bav
given way or if the rate of speed ha
been lower, stoppage might hav
been accomplished. Consideration
such as these must enter into the ca
culations of railroad managers an
the travelling public if railway travt
! is to be freed from the perils whic
now attend 1t.
Meanwhile our sympathies go ou
! to the stricken families and to th
managers Of the railway in their mi
9 fortune, and We express the hope ths

APPALLING RAILROAD HORROR
Over 1866 Killed and 800 FesrfulIy
Injured.

On Wednesday night last, 10th inst.'
an excursion train of fifteen cars en-
route to Niagara Falls went through a
bridge near Chatsworth, ILL.,, on the
Toledo, Peoria & Western road, and
over hundred people we're killed.
Soon after leaving Chatsworth, as the
train nsared Piper City, the bridge
crossing the YermilliOn river gave
way aud the train plunged down a
steep embankment into the stream.
The cars caught fire from the lamps
and fearful panic ensued. The
wreck is about three miles from the
station.
: A dispatch from Chatsworth under
date of Aug. II, says: The latest par
ticulars of the terrible disaster three
miles from here on Wednesday night
show that the bridge was weakened by
fires originating in the surrounding
fields and underbrush in consequence
of the drouth and sparks, or set by
train wreckers for the purpose of plum
der. The latter theme is supported
by the fact Of the robbery of many oi
the killed and injured passengers Of
the excursion train. All the cars ex.
